Abstract
The gold-based carbene-metal-amide (CMA) complex BICAuBGCF3 with a 2-(trifluoromethyl)-benzoguanidine amide (L) have been prepared in good yields and characterized. The CF3-substituted amide donor ligand resulted in 0.27 eV stabilization of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and wide energy gap of 2.97 eV. In fluid media complex experience a dynamic behavior between two forms which reduces the blue luminescence quantum yield down to 43%. In solid state complex shows bright deep-blue thermally activated delayed fluorescence at 432 nm with 60% luminescence quantum yield thanks to small singlet triplet energy gap (ΔEST) down to 54 meV. The radiative rates (kr) are up to 1.4×106 s–1 in amorphous polystyrene media indicating BICAuBGCF3 complex as a promising material for optoelectronic applications.
期刊介绍:
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions.
The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
